They "find this an agreeable expense"?

They produced extra to account for it when they could leave, so it appears to me they at least understand that their current home comes at the cost of honey.

They have a choice in the matter?

They can and WILL leave if abused, so they very obviously do have a choice, yes.

Humans choose to place them in hives.

And if humans want them to produce honey, they're going to have to give the bees ample opportunity to find a better home and leave.
